The correlation energy per electron in the high-density uniform electron gas can be written as $\Ec(r_s,\zeta) = \lam_0(\zeta) \ln r_s + \eps_0(\zeta) + \lam_1(\zeta) \,r_s \ln r_s + O(r_s)$, where $r_s$ is the Seitz radius and $\zeta$ is…
The negative correlation energy per particle of a uniform electron gas of density parameter $r_s$ and spin polarization $\zeta$ is well known, but its spin resolution into up-down, up-up, and down-down contributions is not. Widely-used…
A simple expression for the uniform electron gas (UEG) correlation energy, recently presented in Ref. [J. Chem. Phys. 145, 021101 (2016)], deviates from the reference quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) data at large r_s. We propose to define one of…
